Hopefully, next trip will be on a lovely day and you'll all enjoy it thoroughly, plus you'll be getting paid!

Oh, please don't get me wrong, the guide treated us very fairly. He made the effort, had legitimate expenses and the weather was not his fault. He was definitely due what we paid him.

I get paid salary plus sales commission, so am not paid directly for something like a fishing trip. The idea is to build relationships that increase sales. Over the years, we've built up a pretty good following in the area by delivering extremely good service. Usually getting to take customers on a fishing trip is fun for us and for them. The weather just doesn't cooperate sometimes.
